Ethics and Existence

$9.95

Socrates led a philosophical revolution by shifting the emphasis of the discipline. While the natural philosophers had pondered the nature of the physical world, Socrates found it more worthwhile to contemplate the ethical basis for the actions of human individuals and societies, and the rest is history. But, to me, these are not separate questions. Given that human beings, being a highly advanced outgrowth of existence itself, our approach to choosing our actions tap into the metaphysical essence of all things. Socrates, then, represents not so much a shift in emphasis, as a more relevant exploration of the same themes as his predecessors. Read this article to discover that deeper connection.
